Who said that: kant"s categorical imperative, major challenge to national interest trumping human interest, raises the question of responsibility to the human community. Responsibility to protect: solidarist view- if a state fails to protect citizens they forfeit their right to be treated as legitimate sovereigns entitling other states to act, challenges realist views of sovereignty and world order! Robert cox argues that there are two types of theory: problem-solving theories, critical theories. Today"s learning goals: questions of types of liberalism, contemporary views of liberalism, grotian tradition reform internationalists. Contemporary application: pratt and stokke on global economy. Three perspectives on the global economy: liberal internationalists capitalism, reform internationalists social democratic collective/multilateralism. The system works best when it is rule-based and those with the means to enforce those rules. Social democratic values at home deine foreign policy priorities. Avoid polarization and extremism ind solutions via diplomacy: radical internationalists marxist/transform economic system.
